Yeah, I completely agree with that reply, thanks for the link.

BTW that Reddit post also has replies confirming my suspicions that the technical content wasn't trustworthy, if anyone felt like I was just being snobby about the LLM writing: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1mh7q73/comment/n6ubr...

Maybe I'm too paranoid! If it's not LLM then I don't think it's a very well-organized post though.

In addition to the emoji, things that jumped out at me were the pervasive use of bullet lists with bold labels and some specific text choices like

> Note: The bash scripts in tools/ dynamically generate Rust code for specialized analysis. This keeps the main codebase clean while allowing complex experiments.

But I did just edit my post to walk it back slightly.

This article looked interesting, but I bounced off it because the author appears to have made heavy use of an LLM to generate the text. How can I trust that the content is worth reading if a person didn't care enough to write it themselves?

Have you seen https://www.craft.do?

I'm not sure I agree, since there's words like "bookkeeper" that work fine—people just add a stop in front of the k sound and don't really think about it.

Enumerations are never provided for non-cryptic crosswords in American publications.

What is the point of this reply? This is a set of font files, not an oral history project. The creator is not claiming that this is evidence of their craft or taste.

The question itself would be fine if the asker were actually interested in the answer. What's condescending is asking the question while already knowing the answer, with the unstated ulterior motive of getting the writer to change the method name.

No, Google Reader had a social layer where you could add friends, see items that they recommended, and comment on them. It was really great, but it was ruined by the migration to Google+ before Reader was actually killed.

Yes, in US English you'd say "in school", "in prison", but "in the hospital", for whatever reason. But you'd say "in hospice".

This is interesting but I wish it included some information about the definition of "dissonance" being used. Of course xenharmonic stuff sometimes sounds out of tune just because it's unfamiliar, but also there's a temptation to go too far the other direction and assume that something must be exploring profound new harmonic space just because it sounds bad.

It's funny that you mention IFTTT because one of the inspirations for its creation was the book Thoughtless Acts?, which is full of photos like the ones in this post: https://ifttt.com/explore/ifttt-the-beginning

They used to give a copy to new employees, but it seems to be out of print now.

We collectively tried the approach you’re describing, and we stopped doing it because it sucks. It looks nice in simple cases, but the lack of encapsulation or locality makes it impossible to change upstream styles without breaking something somewhere else. Also you have to use horrible BEM-style names to avoid accidental collisions between styles from different parts of your app, which kind of ruins the elegance in itself.

It’s not universal, people just don’t bother writing posts with the opposite perspective because it’s boring. Tiger was my first version of OS X and I think what we have now looks much better.

I think you're missing that even shallow popular music is fundamentally about the interplay between familiarity and unfamiliarity in a way that's informed by the broader world. Sometimes it's about knowing who the performer is and how a song fits into their life and persona, or maybe it's about the way the melody and style conform to or defy current idioms, but it's definitely not about anything simple enough to be replicated in an unguided way by an AI. Like an AI could spit out a perfect 2000-era Britney Spears song tomorrow and it wouldn't be a hit regardless of its technical merits, because that's not what anyone is actually looking for in 2020.

It's weird to assume that all time spent outside a paying job is leisure time. People who have money can afford to spend a lot less time cooking, taking care of children and elderly parents, etc.
